If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

If you are going to DebOOnK an expert then you actually have to DebOOnK that person and not something someone else said or interpreted from  it.

If the expert is not DebOOnkeD, and only what someone else thought about a single sentence from the work, then any other points or conclusions in that expert's work still stands.

Any questions?

No questions here, I think that's an excellent illustration.

I would say I'm utterly baffled at what the point of contesting all these different refutations was if you agreed that the hypothetical number wasn't analogous all along...but that's the advantage of never making claims and, instead, posting links with little context and vaguely sorta-kinda challenging others' claims. What would've otherwise been having to admit falsity can be spun into something like "I wasn't claiming anything, I'm just pointing out that it's important to check peoples' credentials".

It's almost like it's all being made up along the way to fit the narrative.

Trump actually wants the case to be thrown out. Then they can take it to, uh...they can still, like...there was fraud, y’know? Idiot libs. The reeeeeeeal lawsuit is coming! Soon!

I mean, I appreciate being corrected on grammar. I don’t like using the incorrect spelling of words, and it bothers me when someone knows I’m misusing them but doesn’t tell me. So...

Also, I’m curious to see what it’s like having a VP that doesn’t make me want to die every time I hear them give a speech.

Yes, that would be bad.
But that isn’t what is happening.

Well yeah. But J-Man thinks it is, and I'm curious how he reconciles his belief that this vaccine is extremely dangerous with the fact that Trump is touting it and telling people to take it and that it's safe. It sounds like, according to him, Trump is openly telling people to inject themselves with an incredibly dangerous substance and lying to them by saying it's safe.

Are you bothered at all by Trump's promotion of the vaccines? And his assertions that they're safe and we should all take them?

No, the idiots that will take it, no way can afford any Trump property. He'll be fine and so will I.

I don’t think you understand my point. You don’t think it’s bad for the President of the United States to push a vaccine that’s giving people awful medical conditions? And tell people it’s safe?

@Tom: Roughly when do you think the election results will be overturned? Do you think it'll happen within the next few months? The next year? Genuinely curious.

Yeah, I struggled on that one. If it weren't capitalized I'd probably have crossed it out, but I'm pretty confident it's talking about the "I'm sensitive and can't understand context how dare you specify black lives" counter-slogan. And I guess I can cross the high one off lol, though I really don't know if I want to be so close to a bingo in that quadrant...

But Rama, certified doesn't mean "audited for fraud". Check out this MASSIVE bombshell the trump campaign dropped that PROVES, INARGUABLY, with 17,000 LINES OF PROOF, that they have evidence of fraud.

I’ve changed my bet. It’s going to be 2023 and we’ll still be hearing “Trump and his team are going to be releasing their evidence any day now, they’re just building up to it strategically. Trump won, you’ll see.” We may hear it until he dies. Maybe even after. The ultimate anticlimax.

I'd also love a source, because I'm digging and not finding one other than the aforementioned document that claims they "supposedly" did.

I'm already bored of the current narrative and far more interested in what it's going to be when Trump's loss is official. Will any of the "Trump is winning" folks admit they were wrong? Are these last couple of months going to be a collective mental block, like it never happened? Will it be a pivot from "Trump will win" to "he would've won if those libs didn't cuck him"? The possibilities are endless.

Damn it, you beat me to calling out the braindead use of Benford's Law. Ran here as soon as I read Tom's link. The fact that these people keep trying to apply it to a very deliberate and roughly uniform division of people makes me uncertain if they're deliberately misleading or just stupid.

There are multiple other instances where he said it could be ready by the election.

So why have you neglected to provide a quote or screenshot then?

You clearly do not have one and can only insist on this fib.

Pretty clearly saying it could be ready by the election. I could see arguing "special date" means something other than election day, but I think that would be an incredibly disingenuous and stubborn take.

Police clear peaceful protestors with tear gas, etc., so that Trump can have a photo call at a church, holding a bible, and looking glum.

This is such a bizarre photo and even more bizarre response. Like, I find religion weird enough as is but I legitimately cannot wrap my head around the thought process of "there are riots, I said to shoot people, let's...go stand in front of a church, frown, and hold up a book?" It's a scene I can only imagine taking place in a far-out satire. But it's real.

Also,

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/01/tucker-carlson-trump-protest-295628

Searing. I commented that you know what the president is doing is bad when Fox News has something to say about it. When the somebody at Fox News is a staunch lickspittle like Tucker Carlson, that conclusion is only more pronounced.

Wow. That's the first time I've seen Tucker Carlson have a spine. I'm genuinely impressed. He must have had to dig deep into the vile, insipid pool of muck where his heart should be to pull that out. I'm proud, though.
